Optimize your sugar production with process instrumentation

Innovative, robust and easy-to-clean technologies during production and maintenance

Sugar production is a cost-sensitive business. Robust, durable and high-quality process instruments are of utmost importance because they increase performance and ensure constant quality. Sugar processes can be optimized without compromising product quality. Robust, easy-to-clean innovative technologies guarantee high plant availability and reduce the risk of equipment damage during maintenance.

170

million metric tons

of sugar are produced worldwide each year. When producing at such high quality and high volumes, it is imperative to avoid unscheduled outages.

Applications

Level measurement in the evaporation process

One of the most challenging applications in sugar production is the level measurement in the evaporator. A low clarified juice level may damage an entire batch and cause an unscheduled outage.
Radar technology mounted in a bypass system ensures robust, stable and reliable level monitoring.

Keep pH measurement within safe limits

The optimal pH range in the crystallization process is 6.5 to 7.0, which ensures top-quality end products. Because of the low ionic strength of the water mixed with sugar, a glass electrode cannot be used. We recommend our digital non-glass Memosens sensors ISFET or Ceramax. In addition, the Ceramax sensor offers long-term stability and minimal maintenance.

Brix concentration at the highest level

Syrup is produced in the evaporation phase with about 65° Brix. Apart from the main task of measuring mass flow and density, the Promass also performs an in-line analysis of the Brix concentration with a high degree of accuracy. Our new flowmeter platform organizes clear, standardized diagnostic notifications using the Endress+Hauser Heartbeat technology, which enables predictive maintenance while supplying proof of operational reliability and process safety.
